The instruments used for gathering the data were the rating-scale and open-ended questionnaire. The statistics used for analyzing the data were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, F-test, and content analysis.
The research findings were as follows:
1. TNI students had a moderate level of problems and obstacles in using MOOCs.

3. TNI students with different faculties had statistically significant differences in the total at 0.05 level. When considered in each aspect, it was found out that there were statistically significant differences at 0.05 level in Problems and Obstacles.
4. TNI students with different academic years had statistically significant differences at 0.05 level in total. When considered in each aspect, it was found that there were statistically significant differences at 0.05 level in Problems and Obstacles.
5. TNI students had supplemental suggestions: Trial of MOOCs should be experimented before launching to students; Internet and computer are significant devices that support teaching-learning process; I like a traditional classroom style because relationship between teachers and students is the most important factor; Duration of the clip should not too long so the students will not get bored; MOOCs are suitable for the students who pay attention on this kind of learning and; MOOCs should be applied with a language classroom.
